Is YouTube limiting the speed of youtube-dl to 50KiB/s now? 👀

@FreePietje I have the same suspicion.

Of course G👀gle is doing this 🙄 https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecomment-866274530"The issue is that YouTube is modifying the n query parameter on the video playback URLs in a very similar fashion as the signature cipher. There's a pure function in the player JavaScript which takes the n parameter as input and outputs an n parameter which is not subject to throttling."Or you make it look like you're Android, then you're not throttled either. This is just pathetic.(Detached) tmux sessions for the win! 🤓

@FreePietje No. I'm maxing out here (20MB/s?).In my view, youtube-dl and its pipe with Google are not the problem.Invidious seems to have some bugs where it doesn't perform, doesn't start buggering, stops buffering and so on, while youtube-dl does on the same video.

@mplammers Apparently it doesn't happen always, but only 'randomly'. I did several tests and they were all throttled, except one which just failed (403 iirc).I was using youtube dot com links, but was just thinking of trying it with an Invidious URL.

@FreePietje Ok, so Google is doing it too, I may have noticed that too. But to be clear a) trying an invidious link in browserb) youtube using that same linkIn my setup, often a fails when b still succeeds, which leads me to believe it's not all explained by a Google issue.

@FreePietje youtube-dl hasn't been updated for months, looks like the project is abandoned. Try yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Some people seem to think the project is abandoned and you have to 'move on' to forkXYZ.It's not abandoned.FLOSS projects are mostly done in people's free time, so other things can (periodically) take precedence.And that's exactly what happened here:"Currently I have no free time to spend on youtube-dl as I'm busy with work, ongoing renovation and other post-relocation stuff."src: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29965#issuecomment-922377500At least some people wondered whether the maintainer was OK ...

@FreePietje When the developers don't have the time to fix current issues you should move on if a project exists that has the time/manpowerThere is too much tribalism in the Linux community, moving on is not cheating on your old project

@wuwei I would agree if the project was actually abandoned or there were other(wise) structural and unsolvable issues.And if a user wants to move on, fine. But then actually move on.What I saw in the issues were people spamming the original repo with (duplicate) issues, rampant speculation and other mob-like behavior.People could've shown some empathy towards the maintainers who have done an excellent job for a long time. They could've offered to help themselves too, but I didn't see that.

@FreePietje And that's part of the tribalism I'm talking about.Exmp. Oh I found this Y project, time to put down X because now I'm in Y and thinking that's what being part of a community meansEither case most of the time I saw this behaviour it origanted either from caring deeply about the old project so they fear too much for it's future or out of the want to be accepted in to the community of the new project.Eitherway I don't think it's bad intentions, just misguided effort

Today I saw an updated Debian package for youtube-dl, so I went looking at the GH repo and then found the following commit:https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/commit/21b759057502c6e70d51011cfb3fb86d84055182 titled "Move myself to inactive" so that doesn't look good as there is now only 1 maintainer listed as 'active' :-/
